Petronela

I’m Petronela Antemia, a BACP-registered counsellor based in Basingstoke, offering face-to-face and online therapy to adults, couples, and young people. My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-focused, ensuring that every session provides a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Having personally experienced challenges such as narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, and trauma, I understand how overwhelming life’s difficulties can feel. My own journey has shaped my work, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeper level and offer insightful, practical, and empathetic support. I primarily use a humanistic, person-centred approach, meaning I believe you are the expert in your own life. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to suit your needs. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship challenges, or past trauma, I am here to support you with understanding, encouragement, and practical tools for change.
